020“Miri Jazz Festival 2008″

posted by cibol on February 3rd, 2008

Every year another reason to be jolly is that there’s gonna be lots and lotsa events coming up. On of the event that I’m particularly looking forward to is Miri International Jazz Festival. I missed the first one last year due to the “kosong-ness” of my pocket and also I have nobody to go with as most of my comrades in arms are not here. Most of them are working in the peninsular and this year, I would not like to miss this one.

Miri International Jazz Festival aims to be the leading tourism-driven music festival in the region. By assembling regionally and internationally recognised, jazz musicians, the musical event aims to draw visitors to Miri and the Northern Region of Sarawak for a fun-filled and entertaining experience and at the same time showcasing Miri as a city of cosmopolitanism and relaxing lifestyle.

According to the official website, there will be six performers that have been confirmed to entertain you for the whole event. Amongst the bands listed are :

Habana Sax

Charmaine Clamor

Rumba Calzada

Mood Indigo

Diamond Dave and the Doodaddies

Borneo Jazz Quartet
Of course, our very own Borneo Jazz Quartet is an up and coming band to look out for.

Young and talented, the four-piece band play jazzy tunes infused with funky and Latin beat. They also have several original compositions which they will definitely present at the coming festival.

I might not be the biggest fan of Jazz music but heck - This is like once in a year kinda thing. I don’t want to missed it.
